Wishful Thinking Dress

Have the ultimate, figure flattering LBD at your finger tips ladies with this Herve Leger. Perfect for that date night where he'll fall in love and never look back! Add a little sparkle with kate spade new york's I Kissed a Frong Clutch to complete the look.

Size & Fit

This dress runs true to size. We recommend going one size up for backup (see following fit notes for exceptions). Sized: XXS - L

I absolutely love this dress, and if I had the money, I would FILL my closet with Herve Leger. This was my first Herve Leger rental, but it certainly won't be my last. The fit was perfect. I can say it was a little tough to get all of the way up my arms, but it made it there! I didn't need any shapewear as this dress is very forgiving. It accentuates all of the right places and minimizes the others. I received so many compliments after wearing this to an evening wedding. It was comfortable too and I danced the night away! LOVED it.

Classic Herve dress was perfect for my formal event!

I'm a true Small, however that size wasn't available and I really wanted the dress so I went with the XS, which was snug, but because its a bandage material it worked!

Great LBD!

This was my first Herve and I was extremely nervous that it would be too tight. I'm not sure if its because its a popular rental but the dress was perfectly fitted. The fabric of this dress is heavier than expected, but not bulky! Did have a little issue with the neckline stretching out by the end of the night. Too much wedding dancing maybe?

Dress was fierce even in June heat. Definitely accentuated all the good!

The dress was super comfortable and sexy without being overly showy. The only issue was that as I walked around, the dress shifted up, getting big in the shoulders. A shoulder fell off once or twice, but it was an easy fix, just pulling everything down again. Overall, I was super impressed and would def rent again. My boyfriend LOVED it.

Great dress! Felt like a million bucks!

Received many compliments throughout the night. It was form fitting but, kept everything together. It was extremely comfortable and I danced all night long! The dress gave me extra confidence.

This dress is a show stopper! I absolutely loved it and my husband couldn't keep his eyes off of me.

I am very small chested but still wouldn't have been able to wear a bra with it. Either way it still kept the girls sitting up nicely! Very, very form fitting. Going to the bathroom was difficult at times because of the tight nature of the dress, so try to avoid drinking too much in it.

Sexy dress, my boyfriend won't stop talking about it!

I was worried because only the size XS was available when I rented and I didn't know if the dress would fit. However it fit great and because the material is stretchy, it would probably work for someone a few pounds heavier or lighter than me.
The dress material acts as a push up bra by itself, so I wouldn't recommend wearing any bra, especially a padded bra unless you are REALLY wanting to show some cleavage.
Overall this was my favorite dress I have rented thus far. I'm looking for an excuse to rent it again!

Sexy LBD

Form fitting and very flattering. A must if you want to accentuate your cleavage. It is low cut in the front and even though the sleeves are meant to sit slightly off the shoulder, I found myself having to pull up the sleeves a few times throughout the night. Takes a little getting used to and it was my first HL dress but now I'm a Herve Leger fan for life! True to size, I'm 5'5" and 125lbs and ordered a S. Definitely recommend!

Perfect black dress for winter

I wore this out to dinner when I was on vacation. It's effortlessly sexy, and made me look at least 10 pounds thinner. The only issue was that I have narrow shoulders, and the sleeves didn't hit me quite right. I couldn't wear a normal bra with it. Wish I had a photo!

This dress was simple enough for a night out with my boyfriend, but made me feel glamorous!

It was very slimming, and the S fit perfectly, everywhere! I'm usually a size 4, with dresses sometimes being too tight on my hips, but the bands stretch to fit every contour of your body perfectly.

I wanted to keep this one - so sexy!

This is an absolutely stunning dress. I was a little worried about the size - I would usually wear a medium, but got a small as backup after reading other reviews. I was so happy that I did because the small fit perfectly!
This is definitely a sexy look, especially for larger busts (like mine). I felt really comfortable all night and didn't have to worry about wearing Spanx. This dress held everything in the right place!
I can't wait to rent it again!!

Fabulous friends and an over the top celebration for my friend's birthday!!

Loved how this dress seems to have extra support or have been designed to make me have no pooch in my tummy and uplift to my breasts. Didn't wear any bra and the dress provided enough support. No wonder it would be so expensive to purchase off the rack!

Hour glass with class!

Loved this dress. Everything everyone says about is true. It is very tight, but it gives you a wonderful shape. The photos can make it seem simple, but you won't blend into the crowd with this dress. The sleeves did fall off my shoulders occasionally, but it was fine for most of the night. I loved the shape and quality of the dress.

Sexy and comfortable!

Fit like a glove and hugged curves, not that you can really tell from the photo but it did. I felt great in this dress. My husband is hell bent on buying it he liked it so much. The only tricky thing is that the sleeves fell off my shoulders a lot, but its not really an issue as long as you don't wear a bra (that way the straps won't show and the extra shoulder just looks a little sexier). And you don't need a bra this dress keeps everything in place!
This was perfect for an event where I didn't want to stand out but I still wanted to look nice. I got a ton of compliments (mostly from men... So, it would probably be perfect for a date!) The dress came overnight to my hotel in NYC! Where it was so cold I didn't feel like going shopping for a dress, which was my original plan. I could not believe it got there on time! AMAZING!!!!

I ordered the small and xs but the small fit just right. This dress was so comfortable - I didn't get the magical cleavage effect I read about it other reviews but still very happy! Material is thick and expensive feeling - does all the sucking in for you :)

Size Up!

I was so excited for this sexy little number to arrive but unfortunately it did not fit. I have worn Herve Leger before and the medium fit me like a glove. However, I would have definitely rented the large as my back-up size if it had been available. Rent the Runway was fantastic about overnighting me 2 dresses for my weekend event- that is what I most appreciate about this website.

Great in theory

I ordered this to wear to my sorority's formal. I thought the selves would be great and slimming but it turned out to be just the opposite. They made my arms look ridiculous and the built up seam that sits on the edge of your shoulder made it even worse. The fit every where else was perfect but definitely stay away from this dress unless you have very slender arms.
Luckily was able to swap this dress out before my event so it wasn't a total disaster. RTR's customer service was great, especially Julie who made the whole process surprisingly stress free!

Amazing! Classy and sexy dress. A must rent!

This was my first Herve experience and I am a lifelong fan now. This dress is sleek, sophisticated and classy. I rented the XS and S and ended up going with the Small. It was super comfortable. The neckline is meant to sit slightly off your shoulders so the sleeves fell down quite a bit, but when they stayed, they looked great. I love this dress and may even rent it again!

Fit was great. I didn't have to wear spans under and felt amazing in the dress all night. Arms were a bit tight at first but I didn't notice them after awhile.

The only problem I have with this dress is that it was tough to keep on my shoulder. Also, I wore this on a cold night with a coat and I was just fine. It might be a tad warm in the summer.

This dress is tight but looks great that way!! It hits down to my knees. Very classy fit. I did not wear this dress because the dress I received was discolored and very worn. I reached out to RTR and they quickly fixed the situation by over-nighting me a different dress of my choice.

Great dress, but too big in the shoulders

This was my first time renting an Herve and I really loved the feel of it - very sexy. However, I have fairly narrow shoulders and had to use double-sided tape to keep the sleeves from slipping off - which didn't really work so well with this fabric. Would definitely rent another Herve but caution girls with narrow shoulders from renting this.

It is a bandage dress, so it is meant to be worn snug. I would definitely suggest spanx, they just smooth everything out. Loved wearing this dress!!!

I love that this dress sucked it all in,gave me hour glass figure, and didn't even need a bra!

Typical Herve fit, little snug in the arms, loved that didn't need to wear a bra with it and somehow it magically made my not so large chest look fab. Created curvy hourglass body look that I so do NOT have but wish for!

I wore this to a bachelorette party and felt fabulous! Had to have a friend help zip me up, as it is skin-tight, but for the rest of the night, didn't have to worry about a thing...aside from accepting compliments. ;)

This dress is beautiful. I wore it to an engagement party and people would not stop complimenting me all night! It was very warm because of the heavy material and it hugged all the right places. It was sexy and classy all at the same time. This dress made me fall in love with Herve Leger I can't wait to wear another one of his dresses!

Fun prom night!

The small fit me great! The only slight downside was that the shoulders/neckline was quite wide, and my bra strap would occasionally show, but it wasn't a big deal.
